The fact remains that Siegfreid and Roy have been working with big cats for 30+ years and have done a considerable amount to educate and promote conservation efforts on behalf of the big cats they love. Many of the cats in their show were raised by them and also live with them. Siegfreid and Roy are the first to admit that even though these cats have been trained and are used to being around people, they are still "wild" animals and are treated with care and respect. Yes, it is surprising that something like this has not happened sooner but it should be remembered that this was a very unfortunate accident. Aloha, :tiki:
